Dogs are not items, junk, aluminum cans, etc! Collecting dogs & not providing adequate shelter as well as the basics food & water is not humane. Plus these souls need LOVE too! It appears that these two humans didn’t take very good care of themselves either. Please ensure these babies get safe & healthy & these two will never be able to ‘collect’ any animals ever again.
